      Just learned we may be stewarding a flock of 2020 911 turbos in the near future. Expect many pictures!

      Think it, be it.

            To be clear, I'll be surprised if I get to drive any of them, probably will mainly be just basking in their presence. And asking repeatedly to take one for a spin. Probably riding in one with on of their professional drivers on a track at some point (video will be taken in that instance).

                          Update from the impending Taycan launch.

                          Fleet of Macan S for the help (guess we're not so special).

                          The crown Jewel of the various EVs they brought in is the Turbo S. They brought in all the competition, Jaguar, Audi, and Tesla number among the EVs they expect to trounce.

                          Impressive brakes for this beast

                          She has a lovely interior and console

                          And of course the audio upgrade

                          Storage up front

                          I have a feeling this will be a very fun car to own.

                          The magic will happen in this room tomorrow.

                            has anyone ever wondered or thought about why they called it a taycan turbo when in actual fact it has NO turbos? can that be a question that you could ask during the launch?

                            the thing is practically a battery operated toy car with bigger batteries.. i know the thing is impressive but the naming bothers me… A LOT.

                              TOP GEAR had the same question… Porsche basically said that in this context, it just meant "fast car"...

                              Which, weirdly enough, translated to "Load of bollocks" in my mind...

                                i know lots of turbo cars that aren't fast. porsche is just getting lazy. i don't mind them using an S term for whatever reason to differentiate a faster model but this is just confusing.

                                    I definitely see the argument, but they probably see it as the opposite of confusing to use the same words to tier this line that they use for other lines. Most of their engines feature turbochargers, but not all of their cars are branded accordingly. So I think that the word has become more a product classification than a literal feature for Porsche. Turbo to Porsche means "top tier." In fact, interpreting it otherwise would result in almost every of their vehicles having that badge.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      Interesting how languages vary. I think in American that translates to "fucking bullshit".

                                      And since apparently words don't matter to Porsche, I'm sure they'll be fine with my assertion that in this context, Taycan means "trash can".

                                        Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Do you really think Porsche is trying to mislead people dropping $200k on a car, or that people dropping $200k on an EV are going to be angry when they later determine that there's no turbocharger…. on an EV? When they use the term "Supercharger" to brand a car charging device, is Tesla misleading consumers?

                                        This is a branding choice that you can agree or disagree with, but to think there's a conspiracy to mislead here is nonsense.

                                        Think it, be it.
